Kenya Moore is speaking out about being dragged across the floor in her red gown — megaphone in hand — on part one of the “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” reunion special last night, and she’s saying she could’ve beat Porsha Williams’ a** if she wanted to. *side eye* 

Yesterday when the clock struck 8pm, myself and a few other million people tuned in to Bravo to watch the women of “RHOA” chat about the messiness that unfolded on the wildly popular show this season, but were more anxious to witness the big blowout between Porsha and Kenya that’s been all over the headlines.

We got what we bargained for as Porsha violently attacked Kenya after being provoked by the former pageant queen with a megaphone and bedazzled wand. We watched Kenya repeatedly thrust her wand in Porsha’s face then belittle her with the megaphone that she used to call Porsha a dumb h*e.

Porsha lost her sh*t and ripped the silver stick out of Kenya’s hand then threw it to the floor. Porsha then jumped to her feet and confronted Kenya face-to-face. After a few words were exchanged, she grabbed her by her hair and threw her to the ground.

Kenya wrote on her blog,

During the taping of the Reunion Episode for the Real Housewives of Atlanta, I was violently attacked by Porsha Williams. The episode, which aired tonight, Sunday, April 20, 2014, was taped in front of an audience of over 50 people, which included cast, crew, guests and executives, who served as witnesses. I called 911 to report the incident. The Atlanta police conducted an independent investigation, which included viewing the raw footage of the incident.  As a result, Porsha Williams was charged with battery. The authorities will decide her fate, not me.

There are many inflammatory statements made by cast members to and about each other particularly during the reunion tapings. Many have made untrue, denigrating, disparaging, and inflammatory statements against me in an attempt to provoke me, but I have never reacted in a violent way.  My intellect and my brain are my most powerful weapons—not my fists. If people get so angry that they lose control and admittedly “black out” and resort to violence, those persons must be held responsible for their actions. Being a cast member on a reality show does not absolve people of their rights.

Kenya’s statement just doesn’t sit right with me. While I do not condone violence, there is something to be said about Kenya’s antagonizing ways. On these reality shows, people are constantly pushed to their limits and expected to maintain a certain level of calm when that’s as far from reality as can be… To be frank, I don’t know many women who could or would have walked away from Kenya if they were in Porsha’s position. Hollywood expects celebs (or reality stars, whichever moniker you choose) to be real while ultimately being fake because fake is just so much more digestible. Whether you agree with Porsha’s actions or not, there’s no denying that Kenya poked and prodded her to get a reaction then got a reaction she did account for.

After being repeatedly attacked by an abusive boyfriend at the age of 17, if someone puts their hands on me, I will not just let it go.  With that said, I sought self-defense training developed for the Israeli military. I’ve also been trained in weapons. I can take someone down in three moves. It took discipline for me not to respond in kind.  As violent responses escalate, they can quickly result in severe injury or even death.

Being the second Black woman to be crowned Miss USA, there are little girls who look up to me. I would never want those girls, my nieces, or my future children to see me fighting anyone. That’s the lesson we should all want to send, especially to young people—that no matter how angry someone makes you feel by what they say to or about you, violence is never an option. #stoptheviolence

It just so happened that one woman, Porsha, had enough and reacted. After being repeatedly attacked by an abusive boyfriend at the age of 17, if someone puts their hands on me, I will not just let it go.  With that said, I sought self-defense training developed for the Israeli military. I’ve also been trained in weapons. I can take someone down in three moves.

I am the first person to hold people accountable for their behavior. For instance, when NeNe Leakes provoked that whole pajama party brawl that ended up in someone having a bruised rib. NeNe tried her hardest to blame Kenya, but I knew better. This time around, Kenya dished it out, but couldn’t take it.

Kenya ended her open letter or cry for attention with,

“Being the second Black woman to be crowned Miss USA, there are little girls who look up to me. I would never want those girls, my nieces, or my future children to see me fighting anyone. That’s the lesson we should all want to send, especially to young people—that no matter how angry someone makes you feel by what they say to or about you, violence is never an option. #stoptheviolence.”

Because all Kenya’s antics this season and before have been conducive to a great role model. Girl, please. This is all just Tomfoolery and a vulnerable Porsha was swept up into it.

Kenya is no dummy. She’s quite intelligent and knows how to sway a situation in her favor (as we’ve watched plenty of times).

What say you? Do you agree with Kenya’s statement or side with Porsha?
